Finding Course Reserves Materials for Students

Accessing Library Course Reserves via Blackboard

1. Log in to your MyMC account and click on the link for Blackboard. Under "My Courses," select the course for which you want to access reserves items.
2. In the Blackboard course, select "Library Course Reserves" from the left menu. This will open the Ares course reserves module.

If the Library Course Reserves link is not available, this is because your instructor manually removed it. You can always find the Library Course Reserves link under the Tools menu.
